Abbreviation configurable

I allready build up a own citation style (greate solution besides, looking for something like that since while), but it seems something like display only the first 3 characters of the lastname is not possible. With abbreviation I can just display the
first char.

I helped me out in just using the %Tag% field from word and edit it for my needs, but I think this is not the best solution.

An other think: Am I correct, to get automaticaly something like this:

to do something similar for corporations as you did for normal authors. The thing is, you wouldn't have access to the title here by default. You could solve this by adding the title as an extra parameter to the template signature. So instead of

<!-- Formats a b:Corporate element. --><xsl:templatename="format-corporate"><!-- The b:Corporate element to format. --><xsl:paramname="corporate"/><!-- The format in which to display the b:Corporate element. --><xsl:paramname="format"/>

you would get

<!-- Formats a b:Corporate element. --><xsl:templatename="format-corporate"><!-- The b:Corporate element to format. --><xsl:paramname="corporate"/><!-- The b:Title element. --><xsl:paramname="title"/><!-- The format in which to display the b:Corporate element. --><xsl:paramname="format"/>

And then the call to format-corporate should include the extra value. Note that you might have to do this at multiple levels to ensure the title trickles down to the format-corporate template.

Have you refreshed all the fields in your document after running the Extender? The simplest way is by reopening your document in Word and then switching the style to a different style and back to the orginal one.
